ABA 509 Standard

The American Bar Association requires law schools to comply with Standard 509, which concerns accurate consumer information distribution to current and potential law students.

Though this information may be found throughout the site, placed conveniently where it would be most helpful to current or prospective students, we have created this page for the purpose of having a singular place to find Standard 509 compliant information.
